Bee Gees and Me

Bee Gees (and Me) is a celebration of the music and careers of Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, better known as the Bee Gees. I'm not only a huge fan, I'm also an avid collector. Through this podcast and social media channels, I hope to share stories of my own experiences, as well as connect with other fans.

  • 16 - "Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1960s" with Authors Andrew Môn Hughes, Grant Walters & Mark Crohan

    I’m beyond excited to be talking today with the three authors of Bee Gees Decades, a new book series about our favorite Brothers Gibb. This first book, focusing on their lives and work in 1960s, will be available on November 12th across the world, December 17th here in the States, right in time for Christmas!

    The book “The Bee Gees In the 1960s” has left no stone unturned. In addition to getting to the bottom of all of the information they could about these tracks, sessions and albums, spanning multiple decades, the three authors have also created a narrative that will make you feel closer to The Bee Gees, and undoubtedly have a new perspective on the music, the story, and the legacy. 

    Based in Wales, the United States, and Australia, respectively, Andrew Môn Hughes, Grant Walters & Mark Crohan have over fourteen decades of combined expertise and history tied to the Bee Gees’ legacy between them, amassing a lengthy list of credits for their contributions to CDs, DVDs, books, tour programmes, articles, television documentaries, and official websites.

    In 2000, Andrew and Mark co-authored the expansive biography, Tales of the Brothers Gibb. Andrew’s expert contributions can be seen and heard in a myriad of Bee Gees-related productions for the BBC, ITV, A&E, and VH1 networks.

    Mark, the foremost expert on the Bee Gees’ Australian era gifted his collection to the Queensland Library in 2016. He contributed liner notes to the 1998 compilation Assault the Vaults.

    Grant is an award-winning freelance arts writer for Columbus Underground and Albumism, for which he has penned nearly 300 features since 2015. He is a prolific music interviewer, conversing with a diverse roster of artists including Dionne Warwick, Midge Ure, Melissa Etheridge, Edie Brickell and Bryan Adams.

  • 15 - "Higher Than A Mountain" - The Songs of Andy Gibb with Guest Andrew Curry of Curry Cuts

    This episode is all about Andy Gibb. Even though this is a Bee Gees podcast, I would often get questions or messages about Barry, Maurice and Robin’s little brother Andy, who as you all know, was a musician himself. I would often joke back to those people with something along the lines of, “This is the Bee Gees And Me YouTube channel, you must have confused me with the Andy Gibb And Me channel.” Because, here’s the shocker, I was never a really big Andy Gibb fan. Now, that might be considered blasphemous to some, how could a Bee Gees fan not like Andy too? But the simple truth is, Andy just wasn’t my thing. His 70s teen idol gimmick didn’t interest me as a male teen in the 90s. So while I was insanely obsessed with his older brothers, Andy and his music was always on the periphery. In my world, Andy was celebrated along with the other Gibb side projects like Barbara Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross and Dionne Warwick. I didn’t DISLIKE any of that stuff back then, let me be clear. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t capture my ear like the Bee Gees proper did. 

    So I decided that had to change. I tapped into my collector instincts first, telling myself that I had to own his albums to complete my collection. So I picked up some vinyl at a record shop. And then I started listening to more of his songs mixed into my playlists on my streaming devices. Then, a few months ago, I saw a new Andy Gibb tribute album. “Higher Than A Mountain.” And I knew this would be the thing that kicked my interest in high gear. I love me a good tribute album of cover songs. I love hearing people’s interpretations of music and how it compares to the originals. I knew that this “Higher Than A Mountain” would be the thing that made me actually *listen* to the music and get a deeper appreciation for Andy Gibb.

    And that’s exactly what happened. This compilation gave me a new appreciation for Andy’s hits, AND it introduced me to a couple tracks that I wouldn’t have given too much attention to. This tribute album “Higher Than A Mountain” made me an Andy Gibb fan.

    So, on this episode of Bee Gees And Me, I am talking with Andrew Curry, the man who assembled this tribute through his record label Curry Cuts. We’ll talk about, not only these amazing cover songs, but also the complicated legacy of Andy Gibb.

  • 14 - "Andy Gibb's Guitar" Storytelling Episode with Guest Matt Bower

    Matt Bower joins me to tell his bizarre story about being lured into the woods by a scary camouflaged-clad man to see a secret inside a wooden trunk. Was Matt murdered, or did he live to tell the tale? (He lived, he's the one telling the story. ) In all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed being joined by one of my oldest friends, "Big Matt," for this episode of Bee Gees And Me. Matt and I performed comedy together "back in the day," and he's experienced my Bee Gees fandom firsthand. We talk about some of that in this conversation (and also a good bit about my delicious chili), and the main course, though, is his "Andy Gibb's Guitar" story.

  • 13 - "Superfan Sessions" with Guest Daniel Vega

    This is a “Superfan Sessions” episode where I have a conversation with a fan about their love of the Bee Gees. It was my pleasure to speak with Daniel Vega, a Bee Gees fan in Honduras. Daniel has been a Bee Gees fan for as long as he can remember, first hearing the Bee Gees as a child because his Dad is a fan. His stories are great, especially his adventure of travelling to the Hollywood Bowl show of Barry’s Mythology Tour.

  • 12 - Bee Gees Art! - A Conversation with Artist Scott Campbell

    My guest on my Bee Gees And Me podcast this week is Scott Campbell, an artist who has channeled his love for the Bee Gees into his artwork and then uses that artwork to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He’s literally using his time and talents to help sick and dying children. It doesn’t get any more inspirational than this!! Not too long ago he posted his portrait of Barry Gibb on Facebook and it created quite the stir in one of the Bee Gees Facebook groups. The mixed reviews were quite comical, and when Gibb family members started to become involved in the comments section, things got even more interesting! Scott shares some insight into his feelings about all of this during our chat.

    I like to consider myself an artist, or at least over the years I have dabbled in various forms of art. I used to draw a ton as a kid, super into comic books and all that stuff. My grandfather was an amazing painter and sculptor, but he didn’t really do much of that until he retired. He labored in the steel mills for years and years, then retired to become this amazing artist. He was definitely an inspiration when I was a kid. I like to think I inherited some of his talent. I did some drawings and paintings through school, but never pursued it to a point where I became an expert or something like that. My parents wouldn’t let me do anything like that for a living, I had to “grow up” or ‘get a real job.’ So art was always a hobby I did on the side. Graphic arts, performing arts, t-shirt design, even stuff like this, videos and podcasting, can be art. But I’ve always wondered what it would have been like if I was able to put more effort into that sort of thing when I was younger. And, of course, during this pandemic one does a lot of thinking and a lot of soul searching. Many of us were quarantined at home, so there was alot of time on our hands. I was home with my two small children, and I saw my oldest son, Griffin - he’s 5, he’s always drawing and scribbling and writing and stuff. There’s paper everywhere. So I decided I would start drawing with him. Superheroes, doodles, stuff like that. And then I got a couple better pencils, and then some better paper. And before I knew it, I was drawing pictures of the Bee Gees. BECAUSE OF COURSE I WOULD. Haha.

    I did a couple, you can see them on my social media accounts. @BEE GEESANDME on Instagram and Twitter, and "Bee Gees And Me" on Facebook. In a crazy twist, the Bee Gees social media pages actually shared my drawings! Which was an absurd honor. So I’ve been encouraged to follow this art thing a little bit more, you know, why not? This pandemic hasn’t really been great for my creativity at times, but it’s also made things alot clearer in some ways too. What’s important? What am I passionate about? What inspires me?

    Which is why I’m so excited about this episode. Like I said at the top of the show, this is about ART this is about LOVE. Scott Campbell has channeled his love for the Bee Gees into his artwork and then uses that artwork to raise money for charity. Like, he’s literally helping sick and dying children. It doesn’t get ANY MORE INSPIRATIONAL THAN THIS.
